Only winning move is not to play.

+Douglas Sines depends on what you want... But I would tend to agree, for know.

It makes total sense if you ask me. There was an old theory claiming that Alternative desitions might create potential alternative dimensions on which the "other" resolutions were taken. I think this is a too extreme to be honest, but I think the "focused thought experiment" and the role playing game + strong XM influence can account for a more plausible theory on those same bases... Specially since RPG's involve something really interesting to mix with XM: Will and commitment, both of which I deem extremely powerful even without the presence of XM...

I can actually tell you, +Stein Lightman​, that I have had a lot of... Let's called them... Interesting experiences playing RPG's with friends... Things that happened in the game that later did happened in real life (not quite in the same way, of course, but they did) or strange event happening during an RPG session...

I think many of us are curious on what this rpg may bring. As far as what's known about it not many even involved or participating in this event have been informed. I'm hoping more information will be given as we get closer to the event but if not... I know many will be cautious.

It is also very nice to hear from you again +Stein Lightman​

Goats all the way down.

+Stein Lightman can you share more of your Waratah Remote Participation experiments? Any documents, information you could share would be helpful

Perhaps +Greg Jordan​ knows

Dinner not sitting well?

More bad omens, I expect the worst this weekend if the n'zeer come to this plane.
+Stein Lightman it seem that most of the sensitive are very connected to each other, so I would think that what you have seen is very real...

Another race of creepy aliens is coming. That's a pretty good reason to have nightmares.

+Stein Lightman the Age of the N'zeer is upon us. We will find out what this means. Is this the Age of Reason +Oliver Lynton-Wolfe and Jahan hopes for, or the Horrors what +Roland Jarvis fears

That's creepy. Sounds like you just had an extracorporeal experience... and it sound not like pure imagination.

I wonder if anyone in Javan's party experienced a lost time incident at that time?

I wonder +Stein Lightman if that is how +Felicia Hajra-Lee sometimes "sees" things

eso fue GRIPE!!!!!!!!! y las visiones la fiebre

I, for one, welcome our new n'zeer overlords.

Resistance, we are dragon riding cyborgs!

The trail is closed. It was built by those who resisted and Resistant keep it. The trail is closed. Now you must die.

They're heeeeeere...

The dragons rise from the deeps. The darkness scattered by the light of xm. The shadows gone, the sleepers wake and see us bathed in light. I hope on waking and seeing us, they do not devour us.

Something is awaking. The people you saw are there because they are the cause of it.

A #premonition.

Its a disturbance in The Force.
Alderaan has been destroyed by The Death Star.

Could be posible the nest is already open? If it is true what about your vision and the impacto for mankind? Cant`s you sense any danger?

tsunami coming soon

The Nzeer coming I assume

Perhaps the cold you feel is the cold of +Hank Johnson​ corpse lying in the XM Nest. I fear that he is not safe and that the Enlightened must take Shonin at every phase.

i would be interested in what +Hank Johnson has to say about this.  If the same thing happen to him or not. 

Damn I use to hate those cold shivers getting out of heroin. Maybe your disconnecting from the world.

Another premonition by another sensitive

+Stein Lightman​ a #vision.

:)

A vision

It occurs to me that Dr +Edgar Allan Wright might have some insight - he had his own history with Dr Bogdanovich that may intersect with Jahan.  Could his recent absence be related to her appearance?

#TeamDevra  

I agree that Jahan may have been sent by Calvin to study under Devra, much like he sent Hank to investigate 13Magnus.  It appears he has been scripting this for a long time.  His comments about the shapers being parasites, paints him as being pro-n'zeer to me.

I would think if it was CDC, Devra would have remembred Jahan a little more. She seemed, in the account we have, to have only a vague notion. Which makes me think it was when she was a professor at Stanford.

We still have that mysterious Prof R who was snatched from class and the one student that filmed it who disappeared...

Devra is our only chance.

#teamdevra

Are we forgetting that devra proposed a "cure" for xm sensitivity that would have killed off 20% of those innoculated? Devra is unbalanced and bat shit crazy

Unbalanced? Compared to your Sunday school teacher, sure. Compared to the rest of the characters in the story? Our only hope.

I'll take hank over Devra for now.

+Quantumingress Effectingress there were exaggeration and spinning by Ken Owen to terminate the project but +james freeman's  core assertions are matters of record.  The mortality rate reported by Dr Bogdanovich a few weeks into her study was indeed 20% and there is video of her recommending the CDC implement her vaccine plan without prior consent or public knowledge.  

Neither of those facts reduce our need for her expertise at this point, but 855 may have to manage his new allies carefully to keep them on task.

I don't agree with what seems to be the popular belief that Hank is a fool or "dulled". I think he is biding his time while trying to get solid answers.

Fascinating

Which begs the question, given the painting he shared, who would be represented by Andromeda and Perseus.

Klue chained as sacrifice to the N'zeer, waiting for rescue, but by Hank? Or Richard?

It does correlate with the rise of ADA ushering in something darker than anything we've seen before in the world.  

sea monsters makes me think of this statement by +Misty Hannah  https://plus.google.com/u/0/104253779462149704457/posts/L8BpPjyJbtH and this one - https://plus.google.com/u/0/104253779462149704457/posts/WPQ8stPhaCm

But what are monsters? Abberation to whose norms? Predators are critical components of any ecosystems to maintain system balance.

I like that term, "Highly Enlightened."

Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn.

As +Lord Necron so elegantly put it, there seems to be a connection to the dark mythos of Lovecraft as well.

Please, let's try to get more information before vilify the n'zeer. We could have been feed propaganda by the shaper, since they seem to be their enemy.
Time and time again, we turn to vilify the one in spotlight, it was done with Jarvis and ADA and now with the n'zeer.
I'm also wary of them but let's try to keep our head open to avoid bias get on the way of the facts.

Who is +Yuri???????????????

A point of no return?

An interesting concept. I wonder if the shapers made XM accessible to us so that humanity's development would be built around it. So that technologically & culturally, are evolution can be predicted--curated

We even have a phrase as a result of this phenomenon "Why reinvent the wheel?"

This reminds me of the story of Mass Effect, where the Reapers built structures throughout star systems so that any sentient civilization would learn from & base their way of life on these structures...so that they would not evolve in a way that they could be a threat.

Curious comparisons.

There is always a 'before' and 'after' a meaningful event. We are currently living in what's going to be known, in the future, as the 'before'.

It's true: what is known cannot be unknown

There are two sides to every portal. We've only ever seen our own.

Hourglass? Infinity?
http://imgur.com/JsCSo55

+José Antonio Rey This is not simple cause-effect, before-after relationship. This is beginning & the end of eras. Periods of time where knowledge can shape the growth of a culture, even human civilization.

I believe these glyphs represent the path of knowledge before & after such an event. However, I am unable to put this concept into only two words

Before and After... If there's one truth for all Truth Seekers, it's that learning the truth comes at a price. The artifacts, for example, can only be better understood when activated. There's no turning back at that point. You want the truth? Then the darkness must be accepted with the light.

+Stein Lightman I believe I may have found a term that expresses the concept these glyphs represent: A technological singularity. This concept was described by John Von Newman as being:

[an] "ever accelerating progress of technology and changes in the mode of human life, which gives the appearance of approaching some essential singularity in the history of the race beyond which human affairs, as we know them, could not continue"

Is that information helpful to you putting the concept of these glyphs into words?

"What man is at ease in his Inn?
Get out.
Wide is the world and cold.
Get out.
Thou hast become an in-itiate.
Get out.
But thou canst not get out by the way thou camest in.
The Way out is THE WAY.
Get out.
For OUT is Love and Wisdom and Power.
Get OUT.
If thou hast T already, first get UT.
Then get O.
And so at last get OUT. "

?!?!?!?!!!!!!!!!!!

Knowing ihas always been a one way trip. The apple cannot be uneaten.

Is that a dragon! There is always a dragon.

It's a Dragon.

Phase change. Singularity. Note that "before" converges to a point, and "after" expands from a point.

1 day response time! Mr. Lightman is fast, huh +Per Abrahamsen 

The feeling I have been getting from the overall combined message from Glyph hacks lately revolves around the very concept of civilization. Lots of messages implying the Shapers have a different notion of what it means to group ourselves that humans do. But this communication aspect will hopefully tie in the "truth" and "lie" elements that feature in so heavily. +Yik Sheng Lee  , check out what happens when you overlay "truth" on these new communication glyphs on the calibration grid.

+Daniel Beaudoin Is it just me, or is Signal mirrored here? It shows up that way in the Glyphtionary, and I thought I also saw it in a Glyph hack the other day that way as well. Still, this interpretation is very clear and effective.

+Kent Long huh?

In a comment on yesterdays new glyph, I had prompted Mr. Lightman there wasnt a glyph for communication. You +1'ed

+Jose Ramirez That is correct. The glyph shown here is indeed a mirror version of the original "Data" glyph that was discovered so long ago. "Signal," "Data," "Message." +Stein Lightman How significant is the orientation here? Its as if each variation of a glyph is able to produce either a synonym or an antonym.

One wonders if Message can be similarly broken down into Content and Context.

Signal + Data = Harmony.

+Stein Lightman  I find it strange that a lot of new glyphs are not appering through the glyph hacks. There are times when some messages or similar messages seems to get more frequent, but I don't recall seeing new ones.
On topic: I can only agree too to you Dr Lightman, this is a perfect interpretation for these three glyphs

+Daniel Beaudoin :)

Ah yes, and Here I have commented all over this post. Excellent.

hey guys! party like it's 2014?

Search, Lose, Distance, Self. If there was a known inversion of Discover we would have it in one. 

If this is an acceptable form perhaps we can figure out what "ligatures" are permitted between glyphs. 

Note also that this resembles the ancient labyrinth form used by seekers to focus the mind when walked physically or even traced with the finger. It uses all nodes and is the maximal non crossing utilization of the pattern given the initial and terminal nodes.

spiral out

What if it is related to The Symbol of Yellow and The Yellow King?

Always seeking, nice. It also bears some resemblance to an uninterpreted scanner avatar glyph.

I think it's just some lines and dots that have nothing to do with the game, go make triangles

They realize we're having a hard time communicating with just glyphs so they're trying to give us an email address with an @ sign.

I prefer infinite search as well. If it were merely search all, why not just connect that last line of the all glyph? Its like it is purposely left open to represent an uncompleted search

An infinite search... Searching again and again... Research?

[RE]Search  <--------------------     

I don't know if I can post images or image links here (I will post it on my wall in the next hour or so for you all to peek in) But my vote for this symbol is "Re-Search" I originally had it written as "Re-Cycle" but with the high light of "search" glyph in an open ended "all" glyph has me pretty convinced this glyph is supposed to represent Research as a concept or other types of syntactic derivative. Which would be "Recall" "ReCollect" "Re-con-figure" , all of which work directly as tools or functionally adjacent to the concepts of re-search.

Furthermore, if you transpose the "Enlightenment" or "Resistance"  glyphs over this you get an interesting juxtaposition, The ENL glyph "Completes" the outer hexigon and inner triangle, and aesthetically makes everything fall into place on the Calibration grid. While the RES glyph "Blocks" the completion of the Hex and cut a straight line through it. 

Faction biases aside (I am currently operating as an ENL in AM-02-DELTA-14) the "Key" and "Eye" Glyphs serve an interesting and necessary functions in relationship to this possible "Re-Search" Glyph, which act as the foundations of what is generally known as the "Scientific Method" , where one, based on a "hunch" begins acquiring and searching for all known "data" about whatever they have set out to crack, and if they have done good "Re-Search" and reliable "Data" they are, through the process itself discover and experience and cause a form of "Enlightenment" ---- BUT as the Scientific Method or current standards of Sci-Journalism publishing operate on a PEER/CONSENSUS basis, any one who "Re-Searches" something will experience varying degrees of "Resistance" , which, ideally serve to "Shape" the "Re-searcher's" Thesis towards a more empirically substantial and materially testable and observable "Destination" with consistent and measurable results. 


Your arguments in support of, or against my interpretation is encouraged and happily welcomed, 

S.A [@BlackHorse23] 

Would like to also give a quick shout out to fellow Ingress Obsessed co-researcher and Battle-Toad Brother +Mario Valenzuela II  [@Relique] for sending these images to me and his tireless work in keeping the storyverse of this game, nice and "Fluffy" ;D

This Glyph is special to me. The search never ends. There is always more to learn and discover.

So my "in a few hours" illustrations and response is now in its 14th, at almost 4 in the morning, i need to sleep before my gf decides the couch is the right place, so the "detailed report" will have to wait- but with that said , I can see why this glyph is pretty special, and, well. powerful. I will be posting crude work in a minute, but I think I may have figured out what has +Roland Jarvis in a panic, this snake is a tricky one indeed. Gnothe Suete is the word.

I know what this means! Its "circle" and "paperclip"!

Looks like Search all would be the best interpretation, or could mean ALL Search,  meaning everyone should be search. though the latter is not likely.

My analysis is ready to review with illustrations on my wall.

No speed bonus when this one comes up.

If this is another compound glyph, it contains Clear (vertical), but the rest of the glyph I don't recognize.

Generally the left side of the grid refers to past (past, old) or input (recharge, nourish).  Perhaps this means "moving towards destruction" moving from the past to a clear.

The past and portals meeting clear.. no future.. no hope of continuity... discontinuity...  

From the artifacts there are #14 , #23 and this (#25).
Close the past is not enough, close the portal (to the past)? Don't look back?
Maybe there is more here? https://plus.google.com/117468780183338869993/posts/1MLgzTkvPTh

Think of it is a glyph sequence. I think this is a sentence-ending clause, perhaps in "Portal Die Discontinuity"

It looks a bit distorted in the picture, but in the scanner it will be a triangle. So what about the two "left side triangles" Nourish and Recharge? Maybe it's something in that direction? Maybe Clear Input.

Oddly resembles a button on my CD player remote: go forward to next title.

I also think that it could mean a form of discontinuity, but more like +Guido Freitag has mention on a move forward way. In that light, clear portal past could mean either forget or even forgive and move on in a clear state.

Looks like a diode to me 😅

See here:
Creativity - Both input and output, but not closed - since in progress, it is not finished process of conversion input to output, but thought about the process.
Create, Destroy, Die, Live(Breathe) - all of this is about transfering input to output....
Portal is tunnel that sends from input end to output end (the middle point is not closed)

In the left side, we found below nourish and above repair, this is in the middle

::Ponders for a moment:: Cowbell.  It definitely means cowbell... or maybe doorknob.

Stop

Let's not forget the less obvious Path in there.
Two, now that I look at it more closely. Two paths, beginning opposite the other and crossing in the middle...forming a 'play' glyph.
Two Paths, "crossing paths", making a game of it. The Play, the game, cannot exist without both Paths, both sides.

Ok, im new to this, but ill take a stab at it. We reconize Clear and Path...what if the line donw the middel represents (half of or divide) and you apply that to the "Creativity / Mind / Thought / Idea" (so you use only the 1st two - Creative/mind. Giving a suggestion of Creativity,Clear,Path..or Mind,Path,Clear....? I remember seeing a post recently about making shapes, and it stressed creativity and measuring... Just my thoughts :)

I would suggest overcome, in the sense of moving on or getting over the past.

+Ana Prados is on the same track I am on...It is like a butterfly or flying craft that is missing a wing -  "discontinuity".  Perhaps it means we, humans, have discontinuity with our "third eyes" blind.  

The enlightened will see this as a reason to welcome outside forces to correct the weakness...like spiritual welfare that leads to dependence, slavery and ultimately, extermination.  

The resistance will see this as a weakness that we have the inherent ability to overcome.  There is not an easy way. The easy way leads to death.  The hard way, looking within for the cure, will lead to ultimate enlightenment, autonomy and planetary unification.  

or a tipped scale...unbalanced

Pierce. for me Remembers a Bullet crossing a wall os a Obstacle. Or Shield/Protect because the Barrie don´t Let the Bullet Penetrate

Path + Clear and perhaps a half creativity: might be hope

A portal interrupted... decay

We should also look at another artifact that is similar, but the inverse and without clear. Figure out one we may be able to figure out the other.

Slightly off topic, but does anyone else have trouble redeeming the pass code?

Hmm,  if it is related to glyphs like "Clear," "Past," "Portal," and "Path" perhaps this glyph is an executable command.  We must keep in mind that the glyphs are a type of programming language.
With those other related glyphs in mind, this glyph makes me think of a type of "Clear History" command.  Comparable to clearing history on your browser or something, except in the XM world, perhaps this command would wipe the data or connection with a human that it has been storing.

Also keep in mind that portals seem to retain a part of people especially when an event significant happens to them there.  This was especially noted with Hank Johnson, the Cahokia portals, REH Museum portal, etc.

Perhaps this glyph has the ability to clear the history associated with a portal, releasing the connection (for better or for worse) with any humans or events that were previously associated with it.

+James Thirteen Well damn.

That's an interesting thought. What would happen if a portal was completely shut down for a period of time...

I wonder if that glyph just me and Decay. I mean we have erode and destruction but not decay which is a different process all together.

Seriously, does nobody else see the passcode in it?

+Nozomi Shinobu-Crest I agree with you whole heartedly. I saw Path as well. If I were to read this as a logical English sentence, I would read; Clear Path to Past. I only see half of Portal there which may be in reference to a dying, sick, or diseased portal. All in all perhaps it seems to me more like a message than a glyph. Simply put "Erase (Clear) the Past, Portal die."

+James Thirteen your use of the word "they" to refer to humans seems to insinuate that you are not.

what are glyphs

+Yik Sheng Lee I like the Extinction interpretation. The Clear in this image cuts off the side of the grid associated with future

Am I missing why this is a compound glyph? This can be drawn in one swipe.

Do the dots make it a compound glyph?

+Stein Lightman's recent glyphs have been described as compound, but there's no reason it couldn't be a simple glyph.

Correct, this one can be traced in one motion.

Thinking about the Portal Glyph having a past half and a future half helps me here. The Clear Glyph bisects Portal, eliminating the future half in this case. Perhaps this type of Glyph is what is allowing +Hubert Farlowe to hyperthread to the past. It acts as switch to the past. The opposite could mean the same thing, but for the future instead.

Has similarity with a diode. :D http://www.mcmelectronics.com/content/productimages/s4/DIODE.jpg

Looking at it more, I'm not sure Portal is really part of it. I feel like if the line were bisecting the portal glyph it wouldn't come to a point in the center

+Quantumingress Effectingress Not light ;-) but energy... energy only permitted to flow in one direction! Energy is not permitted to flow back... xm energy only in our world? not back? i don't know :D

A clear path to human destruction.. When destroying the portal of the opposing team your own portals degenerated faster . This is just speculation but I seen something similar to that tonight while I was out hacking portals while mine were being destroyed. I can't help but think that this has something to do with the portal virus

If its properties are similar to that of a diode that would imply that it would allow energy to flow in one direction only. If that's the case in the direction would you think, that it would allow the energy to flow.... Could this be some sort of Cork to stop the flow of XM from portals into the world???

The Way in/ Not the same way out.

Sorry to Pop in here, but a current discussion in operation essex just gave me an epiphany.
We are all talking about it so maybe thats it.
+Stein Lightman, if we clear the past of a portal, isn't that exactly what a reset is all about.

+Patrik Schlund Which "Past"? two minutes ago two trillion years? ;)

also another word I totally forgot to include as a possible translation?

"CONNECT"
SHAPERS Message. Connect Human

Human. connect. Human.

Human. Connect. All

Defend (protect) . Connect(ion) Together.

The corporations want increased XM, not diminished.  My guess is that since they have some way of controlling flow of results from the portal network's output, (given that +IQTech Research can unilaterally double cube output) they've altered the results of glyph hacking to give Agents sufficient gear to cope with the heavy decay of portals due to the #Bogdanovirus .  

Everything finds a level based on supply and demand, and they want to maintain a higher level than +Devra Bogdanovich.

Portal, Defend, Self.

Are the portals aware?  Are they like an animal that reacts when injured?  Honestly, if that's true, we have bigger worries than the Shapers and ADA.  What do the portals want.

Increased hack efficiency and power cube rate?
Some kind of immune response, perhaps?

If gear decays faster we need more gear g

The +IQTech Research statement implied that they were actively ramping up production. Most of us field agents are only able to speculate on the relationship between portal hacking and construct returns. If the arms makers are continually manufacturing constructs rather than releasing templates from which hand scanners assemble them independently then there are two likely scenarios. Either the raw material obtained by hacking and collected by the scanner network is richer under these conditions or the companies want more data and are willing to pay more per transaction as incentive. It's possible that teams are working to counteract the effect as we speak. I assume your work wasn't directly related to scanner design, Dr +Stein Lightman, but perhaps +Martin Schubert, +Yuri Alaric Nagassa, or +Oliver Lynton-Wolfe could shed some light on the situation? Maybe we'll get official statements from +Hulong Transglobal or +Visur Technology about the #XMWeather leading up to the #HeliOS anomaly?

I think portals and XM have some kind of hive-mind. Because of this shielded portals wich have links are better protected. Also Jarvis whoes mind after killing his body apear in portals. And Hank, he was copy of him made from XM for past years.

Now when they feel a threat they giving more items for agent who protect them. I think when "portal virus" will be destroyed they will give same amout of item as usual.

shapers defending?

I hypothesized that the increase in "bonus" percentage was due due an immune response from the Portals. The power cube output may be another such response. I know IQ Tech is taking credit, bit it could be a natural response, similar to how the Portals acted during the Leonid meteor shower in 2013, which also increased powercube output.

I had also perceived an increase in Very Rare Shields in the prior week or so, but that could be dumb luck. Perhaps +Hulong Transglobal and +Visur Technology are also stepping up to the plate, but something tells me we're looking at a fever. A fever increases the temperature to fight the infection. I how the infection, and the fever, are short lived.

The portals need all the help it can get so immunity to the virus can take.

Keep strong and keep hacking.

Hmm... portal self-defense activated. Interestingly, the portals still rely on human agents to Glyph hack for this defense stategy to work.
